To all whom it may concern.- I

Be it known that I, THOMAS ONIEL, of St. J acobs, Madison county, Illinois, have made a new and useful Improvement in Bag-Holders, of which the following is a full,.clear, and exact description, reference being'had to the annexed drawings, makingpart of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a view in perspective of the Ill)- proved bag-holder, and Figs. 2, 3, and 4 details, Fig. 2 being a [sectional elevation showing the device for clamping the holder to the standard; Fig. 3, a cross-section of the holder in the line of one of the lips used in holding the inner end of the extension in'place,'and Fig. 4 another cross-section of the holder in the line of one of the clamping-screws.

The same letters of reference denote the same parts. 7

A represents the base of the structure. B represents a standard supported by the base.

' 0 represents the holder proper, to which the mouth of the bag, in being filled, is attached.

The holder is vertically adjustable upon the standard B, and is also extensible, so as to For adapt it to bags of different diameters.

means of the arm a and some suitable fasteningsuch as the cam-lever D-to be clamped to r the standard Bat any desired elevation thereon. By turning the lever down the part c is locked to the standard, and by upturning the lever D the part c is loosened. The parts 0 0 can be set outward or inward upon the part 0, so as to extend the part c, and thereby make a holder of larger diameter. To this end the parts a c are similarly slotted at 0 -andare similarly provided with a lip, 0

Clamp-screws c c serve to secure the parts 0 c" to'the part c after they have been adjusted thereon. The clamp-screws work through the part c at. or near the outer ends thereof, and the lips c are at or near the inner ends of the parts a, respectively. The lips project underneath the part c, and cooperate with the clamping-screws in holding the parts 0 horizontally in place. The, parts 0 0' c are provided, with suitable points, '0, onto which the bag being filled is hung.

The bag-holder described, comprising the base A, standard B, part 0, parts 0' 0, formed with slots '0' 0 lips 0 c and points a c", the screws 0 c and the cam-lever D, as and for thepurpose set forth.
